The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land and Maritime is conducting market research to identify qualified sources capable of manufacturing the NSN 5330-01-098-6005, identified as a PACKING WITH RETAINER, with the goal of establishing a long-term indefinite quantity contract. This solicitation, identified as CL25346005, is not a request for proposal but a preliminary effort to assess industry capability and capacity. The only currently approved manufacturer is C.E. Conover & Co., Inc., with part number CEC4981-213 and CAGE code 07060. The item is classified as a commercial product under FAR 2.101(b), meaning it will be acquired using streamlined commercial item procedures. Respondents must complete and submit a Market Research Questionnaire by May 18, 2026, to Regina Collette at regina.collette@dla.mil, including their CAGE code, small business status, whether they are a manufacturer or distributor, and evidence of commercial sales if claiming commercial item status.

The anticipated contract structure includes a three-year base period with potential option years, though no firm contract value has been established. Performance is expected at Bensalem, Pennsylvania, and the procurement office is located in Columbus, Ohio. While no formal contract clauses, packaging standards, inspection criteria, or invoicing protocols are specified at this stage, compliance with standard Department of Defense practices for commercial items is assumed. Attachments to the questionnaire include a required spreadsheet for item details and supporting documentation such as catalogs, commercial invoices, and technical drawings, which must be provided to validate capability and pricing. The DLA will use this market research to determine whether to proceed with a formal solicitation.
